Patna Gets Piped Natural Gas As City Network Expands

Patna’s PNG network is supported by multiple DRS units located at AIIMS, BIT, IGIMS, Gardanibagh, Bypass Sipara and Fatuha. Each DRS has the capacity to supply gas to around 30,000–35,000 households. At present, nearly 28,000 homes are receiving PNG, catering to more than 50,000 residents across the city.

Plans are also in place to begin PNG supply to industrial units in Fatuha. Pipeline laying and technical inspections have been completed, and authorities are awaiting the final licence to commence regular supply, which is expected next month. Industries in the area currently depend on LPG cylinders and diesel, increasing operating costs. The introduction of PNG is expected to provide a cleaner, safer and more economical fuel alternative.

In addition, GAIL officials said a six-inch pipeline is being laid from Naubatpur to Bihta. A new DRS is planned at IIT Patna, with discussions underway to enable industrial gas connections. Once commissioned, the pipeline is expected to support PNG supply to a range of industrial consumers in the region.
